Those configuration directives came from the
afterstep-2.00.beta4/share/afterstep/looks/look.Border file. So maybe
this file content should be updated.

Thanks for the hint, but what I like in AfterStep is that everything is
in configuration files. I'm especially looking to use AfterStep
background painting with advanced tiling and resizing options. How could
that be achieved with a picture selection menu ? There should be
something in the configuration files to obtain what we used to have with
asetroot isn't it ? Maybe this will possible only in future releases ?
